Всест҃а́ѧ трⷪ҇це, бж҃е и҆ содѣ́телю всегѡ̀ мі́ра, поспѣшѝ и҆ напра́ви се́рдце моѐ, нача́ти съ ра́зꙋмомъ, и҆ конча́ти дѣ́лы бл҃ги́ми бг҃одꙋхновє́нныѧ сїѧ̑ кни̑ги, ꙗ҆̀же ст҃ы́й д¦ъ ѹ҆сты̀ дв҃дѡвы ѿры́гнꙋ, и҆̀хже ны́нѣ хощꙋ̀ глаго́лати а҆́зъ недосто́йный: разꙋмѣ́ѧ
All-holy Trinity, God and Helper of all the world, hasten and direct my heart, to begin with understanding and to end with good works inspired by Thy Holy Scriptures, where steadfast are the fiery twapons which now I wish to speak as unworthy: understand.
же своѐ невѣ́жество, припа́даѧ молю́сѧ тѝ, и҆ є҆́же ѿ тебѐ по́мощи просѧ̀: гдⷭ҇и, ѹ҆пра́ви ѹ҆́мъ мо́й, и҆ ѹ҆твердѝ се́рдце моѐ, не ѡ҆ глаго́ланїи ѹ҆сте́нъ стꙋжа́ти сѝ, но ѡ҆ ра́зꙋмѣ глаго́лемыхъ весели́тисѧ, и҆ пригото́витисѧ на творе́нїе до́брыхъ дѣ́лъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѹ҆чꙋ́сѧ, и҆ глаго́лю:
Thou Who knowest my own ignorance, I now beseech Thee with prayer, and ask of Thee help: Lord, direct us, and strengthen our heart; not that we may strive to speak ceaselessly, but that by understanding what is spoken we may rejoice, and prepare ourselves for the doing of good works. Teach us, and I say:
да до́брыми дѣ́лы просвѣще́нъ, на сꙋди́щи десны́ѧ тѝ страны̀ прича́стникъ бꙋ́дꙋ, со всѣ́ми и҆збра́нными твои́ми. и҆ ны́нѣ влⷣко, бл҃гословѝ, да воздохнꙋ́въ ѿ се́рдца, и҆ ѧ҆зы́комъ воспою̀, глаго́лѧ си́це:
May we be enlightened by good works, partakers of righteous judgments on the tribunals, thy servants. And now, Blessed Lady, bless me that having exhorted from my heart, I may sing with my tongue, saying thus:
Прїиди́те, поклони́мсѧ цр҃е́ви на́шемꙋ бг҃ꙋ.
Come, let us bow down in worship to our God.
Прїиди́те, поклони́мсѧ и҆ припаде́мъ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ цр҃е́ви на́шемꙋ бг҃ꙋ.
Come, let us bow down and prostrate ourselves before the King our God.
Прїиди́те, поклони́мсѧ и҆ припаде́мъ самомꙋ̀ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ цр҃е́ви и҆ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ.
Come, let us bow down and prostrate ourselves before the King, our God, and before Jesus Christ our Lord.
Та́же посто́й ма́лѡ, до́ндеже ѹ҆тиша́тсѧ всѧ̑ чꙋ́вства: тогда̀ сотворѝ нача́ло не вско́рѣ, без̾ лѣ́ности, со ѹ҆миле́нїемъ и҆ сокрꙋше́ннымъ се́рдцемъ. Рцы̀ сїѐ: Бл҃же́нъ мꙋ́жъ: ти́хъ и҆ разꙋ́мнѡ, со внима́нїемъ, а҆ не борзѧ́сѧ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ѹ҆мо́мъ разꙋмѣва́ти глаго́лємаѧ.
Therefore, let us stand thus steadfastly, until all the senses are quenched: then let us begin to do good not quickly, without laziness, with compunction of heart and humbled spirit. Say this: Blessed is the man: quiet and wise, with attention, and not hasty, as though to understand by his own reason the words spoken.
